About Bulbine glauca (Raf.) E.M.Watson
Bulbine glauca (Raf.) E.M.Watson grows to around 50 cm (20 in) and has thick, fleshy roots. Each plant produces 6 to 16 blue-grey leaves. Its small yellow flowers are star-shaped, and they typically emerge after rain. The species blooms in spring, and can also bloom in autumn when it receives regular watering. In Australia, Bulbine glauca is distributed across Tasmania, New South Wales, and Victoria. It prefers elevated areas, especially sites along the Great Dividing Range. For cultivation, Bulbine glauca grows best in rich, well-drained soil. It can tolerate full sun to light shade and is frost tolerant, but is vulnerable to damage from slugs, snails, and kangaroos. Seedlings of this species can be transplanted, but require regular watering after transplanting. It has a long flowering period, but needs pruning after it finishes flowering. Both the seeds and roots of Bulbine glauca are edible.
